Chapter 319
In the supermarket, Frederick pushed the shopping cart as Alicia was responsible for picking out stuff. They looked like an ordinary couple living a sweet life. Alicia was worried about indigestion at night, so she chose to make a salad. She grabbed some vegetables and eggs and put them inside the cart.
"Hubby, we're almost done. Let's grab some shrimp and go home!"
"Good idea!"
They headed towards the seafood area. Alicia had just gotten some shrimps when Frederick showed her a crab.
"Sweetheart, do you want some crabs?"
He just wanted to tease her, but the crab that he'd thought was dead suddenly started moving. At the same time, a fish in the aquarium jumped out and fell right beside Alicia's feet. Alicia was so shocked that her face turned pale as she screamed.
"Ah! Hubby!"
She threw herself into Frederick's arms. When she moved her arm, it slipped over the crab's clamps, leaving a shallow slit. At this time, several store assistants ran out to catch the fish. The scene was in a mess, which attracted many customers' attention. In an instant, a burst of joyful laughter rose one after another.
There was laughter everywhere.
"Sir, your girlfriend is so cute! What a good looking couple!"
"Miss, you're so timid! It's just a fish!" A kid laughed.
Frederick held her with one hand and the crab with the other. There was a faint smile on his face.
"It's okay!"
He kissed her on the forehead to comfort her, then put the crab back to the stall on the side. Alicia was so scared that her legs went weak. Coupled with the surrounding gazes and discussions, she felt embarrassed. She buried her face in front of Frederick's chest and gave him a hard pinch on his waist.
"It's all your fault! You embarrassed me!"
At this time, the store assistant caught the fish and quickly came to apologize. 'Tm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss. Are you all right?"
As he said this, he quickly took out a tissue and handed it over, "I didn't do it on purpose! This is only my first month working here. Please don't blame me!"
"It's fine!" Frederick took it and wiped his hands.
At this point, another store assistant came over with a water bucket and apologized as well. The two turned around and went on with their work. Frederick held Alicia in his arms and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Let's go too!"
Whenever he was with her, he would feel happy.
"Okay!"
She was still leaning against him. Looking at his smile, she pinched him hard again. Because of this incident, they attracted a lot of attention. Along the way, people were muttering behind them.
Alicia was obviously still shocked. When a girl's skirt brushed past her exposed legs, she almost jumped in surprise. In the end, Frederick had to hold her in front of him, and they became the very picture of a couple deeply in love.
After paying the bill and walking out of the supermarket, Alicia let out a sigh of relief. Frederick held the goods in one hand and protected her with the other. He was happy and worried at the same time.
"You're so timid. What should I do if you run into trouble in the future when I'm not by your side? It's really worrying!"
"From now on, you'll have to think of me 24 hours a day! If you do that, I won't be afraid of anything!" It was unrealistic to be by her side all the time. If he were to think of her all the time, it would be more than enough.
"Okay!"
He bowed his head and pecked her cheek. At the same time, a red rose magically appeared in front of her eyes.
"Wow!"
She was surprised and let out a little shout. Only then did she realize that a little girl who was selling flowers was passing by. Frederick paid for the rose and handed the rose to Alicia. It was a simple gesture, but she was overjoyed.
Later, the two of them continued to walk in the same position, but she was holding the blooming red rose in her hand. Both of them whispered to each other from time to time and got in the car under the envious gaze of countless strangers.
When they got home, Alicia put the
flower into the vase on the dining table, then went to sort out the items they had brought home while
humming a tune. She packed up some snacks to be taken to their room later. She didn't expect Frederick to help her out, He just stood aside and looked at her.
She first washed the vegetables and boiled the eggs. Then she started preparing the salad. Since it was only for the two of them, it wouldn't take long for her to finish preparing.
Seeing that she was busy, Frederick
really wanted to help but had no idea how to. He felt a warmth enveloping his heart and was reminded of the time he spent with his grandmother when he was a child. Every time she cooked, he would follow her to the kitchen. Since childhood, he had lacked maternal love.
swire
Subconsciously, he preferred a woman who was housewife material. When his eyes fell on her sexy and charming legs, Frederick couldn't help but shake his head. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She wasn't his exact type, but he was enchanted by her.
He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Alicia turned around and looked at him with a smile.
"Hubby, have a taste."
Alicia picked up some lettuce and stuffed it into his mouth. She didn't expect that he really ate it. "It's tasty!"
She didn't put any sauce on it.
Hearing that he had no objection, Alicia said, "Silly! It's just a piece of lettuce!"
Alicia continued preparing the food while Frederick chatted with her. The kitchen was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Thinking of something, Frederick asked casually, "Why didn't you work overtime today? Are you used to work? Why have I heard news of someone receiving flowers and presents?"
Looking back at him, Alicia giggled and said, "Hubby, are you worried? Didn't I leave early because I wanted to come home to cook for someone?" As he tilted his head, she nodded in emphasis.
"You know, I've just only realised just how charming I am! I've gotten candy twice, three flowers, and two chocolates that I stole from other staff. They're all on my desk! Do you want to come and check up on me, Hubby? I still don't know who gave them to me."
Seeing her narcissistic look, Frederick guessed that someone was testing the water by sending flowers. He smiled and said, "Are you used to the work? I can help you out if you need it."
It seemed to be a casual
conversation but Frederick was

said? On the other hand, Alicia thought that he was just trying to get her to stay in the company, which would explain why he was asking about her condition. Content

She thought that no matter what, she could not let him feel like she was messing around.
"No need for that. I've been doing some miscellaneous work recently. I'm also learning to use the latest products!"
